Hi all,
I'm about to "inherit" an "old" G4 Apple Macintosh computer (the specifications aren't known to me yet, but it's been used primarily for DTP work I presume) from my father in law, and I'm looking for Mac resources on the web - being a PC-only-guy up until now I haven't emerged myself in the world of the Apple Computer Co. yet. So any and all links is appreciated.
Cheers,
Thomas
UPDATE:
I got the Mac today - seems to be a PowerMac3,5 - G4 with a 876Mhz processor, 756 mb ram (PC-133) and a 60gb harddrive - with a Philips CDD-5301 cd-combo-drive... With a 32mb nVidia gfx card and both usb and firewire - so it seems to be a reasonably good computer.
Unfortunately there's a problem with booting it - haven't found the cause yet though, but I have been able to boot up in safe mode - but since it's not completely similar to a Windows system I'm not sure what to do with it - yet... - getting it to boot up in safe mode took some research on the net... I'm planning to install Tiger and I'm planning on getting a DVD-burner - are there any limitations in what kind of DVD drive I can choose? I've been looking at NEC or Pioneer drives...
Any ideas anyone?
